A survey conducted by OnePoll demonstrated a preference for drive-through service for fast food, banking and pharmacy purchases. Over 60 percent of those surveyed used a drive-through for food or coffee at least weekly. Thirty-five percent of purchases take place between 8 am and noon. Motivation to use drive-through lanes included fast service, remaining in vehicles and avoiding contact with other patrons at in-store counters. It is evident that habits generated during COVID have persisted and have irrevocably altered consumer purchasing patterns.
